*Include multiple formats on all standards.
*Report additional measures in each span to assess all students on all standards. |
A district assessment matrix needs to be developed that shows how all K-12 science standards are being assessed in each span for all students. The matrix should demonstrate that the district has considered a variety of types of assessments to determine student progress toward the science standards. |
| Include elementary ITBS in the APR |
Report Achievement data state indicators (i.e. ITBS/ITED) at 8th and 11th grade, which is state and nationally norm-referenced, have 3 proficiency levels and report sub-group performance data publicly. |
*Consider multiple measures at all grades.
*Consider multiple measures with each grade span.
*Share plan of how you will use multiple measures to assess the other grade spans in the district APR. |
Matrix must include at least one multiple measure. By 2003 must have data ready to report on one span (3-5, 6-9, or 10-12). |
| Report multiple measure results to the public in additional grade spans to help make important decisions about the district science program. |
Must report at least one of the multiple measures to the public, at a grade level chosen by the district. |
Most districts use ITBS/ITED to measure and report progress on their AIG in science. This is only one opportunity for students to demonstrate how well they are meeting the standards in 8th and 11th grade. To provide all students with multiple opportunities to demonstrate how well they have met the district science standards, districts could:
*Consider reporting 4th grade standardized test results to provide early feedback.
*Select and/or develop multiple measures that could be piloted locally, "face" checked for validity, administered at all grades and district "normed" over a period of several years. |
Any assessment used to measure and report progress on the Science Annual Improvement Goal must be done with all students at the 8th and 11th grade and must meet the following 3 requirements;
*Valid and reliable
*3 proficiency levels
*Sub-group data that can be disaggregated. |
